Ferry from Mantoudi to Skiathos

This is the shortest way into the Sporades from northern Evia, and the busiest of the Mantoudi routes. Seajets covers it with the Speedrunner Jet and Speedrunner Jet 2, while Saronikos Leve Ferries runs the conventional Nissos Aegina, so timings vary a good deal: the fast boats can do it in around forty minutes, the conventional ferry with its intermediate calls takes closer to two and a half hours or more.

Skiathos harbour sits alongside the main town of the same name, with the small fortified islet of the Bourtzi jutting out from the waterfront. It is the liveliest of the Sporades for its size, with a busy resort and bar scene set against the beaches that most people come for, Koukounaries and Lalaria among the best known. The island has its own airport too, which makes the port one of the busiest arrival points in the group.

Sailings run several times a day in season, which makes this the most flexible of the Evia crossings, and the current timetable and fares are shown below. Once you are on Skiathos, the onward links to Glossa, Skopelos Town and Alonissos are frequent, so it is a practical first stop even if it is not your final destination.

Hiring a car

Is it worth hiring a car on Skiathos?

Skiathos is small and hilly, with a public bus running a numbered route between the town and Koukounaries beach that covers most visitors' needs. A car or 4x4 is worth it if you want the quieter beaches reached by dirt roads, though free car parks at popular spots like Vromolimnos fill up by mid-morning in summer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tips for the Mantoudi to Skiathos ferry

• On multi-day island-hopping trips, the ferry becomes a mobile base – use the time on board to research your next stop, review maps, and plan the next day.
• Booking a summer return to Athens a week or two before departure gives you flexibility while still securing a ticket before the final-week rush.
• At smaller island ports, the dock surface can be cobblestone, wooden planking, or rough concrete – wheeled bags take a beating and can tip on uneven ground.
• Once you arrive in Skiathos, over 60 beaches – many of them pine-fringed – line the island's coastline, with the famous Koukounaries beach among the finest in the Aegean. The island also offers historic sites, lively nightlife in Skiathos Town, and hiking trails through the forested interior.
